Your grapes look wonderful!! Your border applique is progressing well - you'll have an incredible finish soon :0) I love how you fussy cut the grapes from different fabrics. Snow is such a discouraging way to get moisture in the spring but it will make everything grow once it melts.

Wow - what a clever way to get accurate placement of that part of your appliqued border - I've never seen that done before. Did you invent it yourself? Love how you fussy cut all those circles as you prepped them - they look SO great! I'm being very patient with this unsettled spring weather because I never look forward the heat of summer. Happy sewing! (I've made two quilt labels today and was thinking of you as I made them cuz you're my inspiration!)

What a treat to see your applique - and a clever method for placement! Isn't it nice when things work out easier than we thought they might be? Goodness your weather is confusing those poor flowers - but they'll still be there when the snow melts :)

I used to be so allergic to those grape hyacinth, and we had them along the side of the home where I grew up.Your appliqued grapes are stunning--and such a clever method of placement.We had the snow for a couple of days solid, but we had received so much warm rain for a few days prior that it just melted pretty much as it landed. It never piled up like yours. Must have become a colder front as it passed over the Wasatch range. : )

Such dear little flowers to welcome spring - and then Mother Nature decides to play tricks! Heard you received quite the snow - hoping by now it has melted and you can see that pretty blue flower again. Your border is looking well on its way to being complete - great fussy cutting - so fun to see your progress on this.
